Summary
- XTEP's X-Run Training Camp builds a sustainable running ecosystem in Vietnam.
- New 160X 8-series carbon-plated running shoes debuted at the camp.
- The initiative aims to provide personalized training and data-driven insights.
XTEP has initiated the X-Run Training Camp in Vietnam, a program designed to foster a sustainable local running ecosystem. This month-long event, which commenced on October 11 and concludes on November 8, 2026, also serves as the stage for the debut of XTEP's new championship-grade 160X 8-series carbon-plated running shoes.
The X-Run Training Camp is a key component of XTEP's broader X-RUN ecosystem. This initiative goes beyond standard training by integrating event organizers, local athletics authorities, professional coaching, and big-data insights. By analyzing runner behaviors and performance patterns, XTEP provides dynamic, personalized training support, moving beyond generic plans to help runners achieve measurable gains.
The camp features a structured environment with approximately 50 pacers, 50 athletes, and professional coaches. Participants focus on refining techniques, building endurance, and achieving marathon goals. This localized effort aligns with XTEP's global PB Master Program, extending performance-focused resources across Southeast Asia.
Showcased at the camp is the complete 160X 8-series lineup, including the 160X 8.0 Ultra, 160X 8.0 Pro, and 160X 8.0. These shoes have a proven track record, with elite athletes achieving significant personal bests and records. Notably, XTEP brand ambassador Feng Peiyou set a new Chinese national record at the 2026 Tokyo Marathon, and Tebello Ramakongoana secured third place and a course record at the 2026 Sydney Marathon wearing the 160X 8.0 Pro.
Further engagement with the running community is planned for the Marathon Expo on December 4-5, 2026, during the 9th Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon. XTEP will host product trials and consultations. The collaboration aims to enhance athletes' preparation for upcoming marathons and promote safe, sustainable training habits.
